Chapter 26
Laura
Gisett holds me in front of him as he stands on the windowsill. “Are you ready?”
I glance beyond us, where the woods and the road lie. “Like... No?”
He kisses my neck. A strong wave of wind blows against us. I take a step back, but he is standing right behind me, and I end up rubbing against his body. His cock twitches and he holds me even tighter to his chest. “Don’t worry, I won’t ever hurt you or let you get hurt.”
“But...” I peek again. I live on the fourth floor, which isn’t that high up, but it’s not nothing. I’d still be pretty dead if I fell from here. “So... Are you sure you can fly?”
“What kind of question is that?” He spreads his wings. “Look at these. These are perfect for flying and I’ve been flying for almost as long as I’m alive.”
“So... Are you sure you can fly with me?”
“Obviously.”
“What if I’m too heavy?”
“No, you aren’t. I’m holding you and I know how much you weigh.”
I peek under us again. The woods are small down there and it still doesn’t feel right. “But, what if...?”
“I’m a gargoyle, come on. You’ll enjoy it. It’s just like how you’ve were worried that my cock would break you.”
“Hey!” I turn around and sneer at him. But his proud smirk grows. I hiss at him. “Stop that. You just want to tease me.”
“Probably. We’ll just give it a try, okay? If you don’t like it, we’ll stop.”
“Stopping mid-air?”
“Well, stop when we land as soon as possible and when you decide that flying isn’t for you.”
“You have to hold me tight.”
“You bet. I’m not letting my mate die. It’d be a shame.”
I take a breath. “Just so you know. I’m the one who doesn’t even dare to play those games in amusement parks.”
“Flying’s not like that anyway. We don’t have to do abrupt turns and dives if you don’t want to. It’s like riding a car, just that we’ll be in the sky.”
“Okay...” I close my eyes. “Maybe before I’ll change my mind.”
He wraps his arms tighter around me. “Let’s go.”
He jumps and so does my heart. I’m in the air and...
No, I’m not falling. But I don’t dare to open my eyes. I shiver as the wind gets stronger. Maybe that’s from his wings.
He kisses the back of my neck. “Open your eyes, everything’s fine.”
I hold on to his arms on my body. One of his arms wraps around my chest, one around my waist, which feels safe, except not really. He wraps his tail around me, which… I guess is safer than nothing. I open one eye, even though that’s no different from opening both.
I’m... in the sky... We’re above the city center, flying so high in the sky that the buildings are small dots. The lights from the city merge into blobs. I take a breath, which isn’t easy when he’s holding tightly onto me.
“Look over there.” He points at something while I scream. He groans. “Come on... I have two arms. There’s still one holding on to you. And trust me, of all things, you aren’t that heavy.”
I gasp, trying to steady myself. “Someone should invent a safety seatbelt.”
“For flying with a gargoyle who loves you? My arms and tail aren’t safe enough for you?”
“For flying with— Oh! Fuck!”
We are falling out of the sky, and we aren’t getting up there! Wing blows against my face as we drop. “Gisett! Fuck!”
He laughs and we are soon stabilized in the sky. “I’m in total control of this. Don’t worry. Just enjoy the view, okay?”
“You just said we don’t have to do the dives!”
At least he’s the one holding me instead of me holding onto him. My limbs are all mushy like jelly, which isn’t going to hold on to anything and I’d be dead soon enough.
He chuckles. “Is it that scary?”
“You have wings, I don’t. It’s always going to be scary.”
He flips over in the sky and puts me on him. “Does this feel better?”
I wrap my arms around him at once. It may feel safer with him under me, but we’re still in the sky, so that’s not safe at all. “Don’t let go of me.”
“I won’t. I want you to be able to enjoy the city.” he flaps his wings as we glide through the sky.
My heart keeps racing, and I can’t focus on anything other than holding tightly onto him. “This isn’t what I expected when I decided to be your mate.”
“I’m a gargoyle, so this.”
“I thought you would travel with your magic and just that.”
“What’s the fun in it? Are you feeling better now?”
I clench onto him at once, even though he’s holding me. “No, don’t flip over just yet.”
“Fine, fine.”
I suck in a breath, trying to sit up while holding him at the same time. I’m in the sky already. Maybe I should try to enjoy this, like he said. My hands are shaking, but at least I am... straddling him, right on his stomach, almost touching his cock.
He watches me, seemingly oblivious to that. Before he’ll come up with something, I’m going to focus on the view ahead.
The breeze takes away the remaining heat from the day, leaving the tranquil sky and clouds. The city is bright, but when I’m above it, the stars are a bit easier to spot. At the further point, it feels like the horizon stretches to the sides and the sky looks like it leads to the distance, so far away that I can’t comprehend.
“So steady that it doesn’t even feel like we’re flying, right?”
I shudder when Gisett’s voice shakes me back to reality. I look at him, which also means I look down below. We are so high up in the sky that it isn’t even funny.
I look up at once. Watching the sky is a lot better than right below. He holds my waist, so I remain steady on him, but it still doesn’t feel good. “It feels better when I’m not looking down there.”
He chuckles. “You’ll get used to it soon. You may enjoy it later. Once we get more exposure to flying.”
I shiver. “I think you need another mate if you want to be in the sky all the time.”
“No, I’m happiest wherever you are. If flying isn’t the thing for you, it’s perfectly fine too. I still don’t understand why, but I need you, okay?”
I nod, still trying to comprehend everything. “I think I’ll have to make myself believe that this is the reality every day.”
He smiles. “So do I. I can never imagine running into you and finding you.”
I run my hand over his chest. He is still in his silly beach shorts, but his handsome smile melts me. “Same. It’s wild.”
“In a good way.”
“Yes.” I move slowly so I won’t fall off him. I lie on him, wrapping my legs around him all the time. I rest my face on his chest. He chuckles and strokes me.
“Laura, what’s on your mind?”
“Will you be tired from flying?”
“Not really, we’re just gliding. It’s not that hard once you establish your position.”
I let out a breath. “Okay, it doesn’t feel as scary now.”
He pats my back. “We can do this every day if you want.”
“Sounds nice.” I yawn, which probably means that I’m getting comfortable, or more likely, exhausted. “Now I’m not finishing my study tonight for sure.”
“Hey, it’s more fun to be with me.”
“Maybe.”
“You know you enjoy me.”
I kiss him. His lips set me on fire. He lets out a moan before he kisses me back. He is such a big guy that it feels like he can wrap me up with his body. “I do.”
“Good.”
Maybe I’m not meant for a normal life after all.
